Are your side panels?

When looking at my c43 sidepanels at sideprofile it looks like it's been dinged with dents, but when I touch the ding with my fingers or feel it with my palm hand there is no dent. No uneven dents at all.
This gives me an illusion that my car is being dinged.
I have seen several Benzes with wavy sidepanels and this is strange why it is like this, I asked a friend at the swedish stealership , he told me that MB body panels come like that from the factory, they look like the are damaged but are not.
So I'm curious about your cars, I appreciate if you take a look on your cars too if you notice this.
Mostly around the doorhandles it's being more seen, and of course in other place too.
Thanx

hey maximus thanks for your reply.
I don't have eny dings on my sidepanels when I touch them with my hand or finger, but they are very well seen in my garage when the lights are reflected on the car, some small parts on the panels looks like they been hit with something but when I touch the spot there is no uneven area on the panel.
And the dings are seen but can not be felt by hand as uneven craters.
I guess the metal on MB cars is soft, therefore the panels give illussionary reflexes.
Thanks.

Btw. what about you other guys with c36 and c43's>?

kowalski, if you see the dings in your garage under a florescent light,then the dings /dents are present no ifs or buts. trying to feel it out is another story.
